Parent article: Deadline scheduling for Linux

OK, I've read the Ericsson posting. The example there is dead easy to do with priority-based scheduling, the 20ms tasks are done at a higher priority than the rest of the software.

The author doesn't explain at all why he feels the deadline scheduler is a better fit - he just says that it is.
